[IronPython] Bug report

[Simon Dahlbacka]

That's not a bug..

backslash is an escape character and \b happens to be the escape sequence
for the bell character.
You either need to escape the backslashes (with another backslash) or use
raw strings

e.g.
"c:\\windows\\bin"
r"c:\windows\bin"

/Simon

ps. who is adding a bin folder under c:\windows, that doesn't sound like the
greatest idea.. ? ..or was it just a "random" name for demo purposes?
